"The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to ban all new billboards inside the city limits and rejected an industry-backed proposal that would have permitted companies to build new signs along area freeways in exchange for tearing others down.... In banning new billboards, Los Angeles joins at least 1,000 communities and six states across the nation that have restricted the outdoor signs despite opposition from the billboard industry."
